Yes, admission is $10 for adults to enter the center. There are some amazing trails with great signage as well as applications to add to the experience. The Nature Exchange, the only one in the SE, even has backpacks that provide additional materials (binoculars and other tools) to add to the hiking experience. There are multiple trails and many things to see, including raptors, beavers and other beautiful native gardens along the woodland and river boardwalk trails.
